Resonant X-ray scattering in URu2Si2

Resonant elastic soft x-ray scattering.

Resonant (elastic) soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) offers a unique element, site and valence specific probe to study spatial modulations of charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom in solids on the nanoscopic length scale. It is not only used to investigate single-crystalline materials. This method also enables one to examine electronic ordering phenomena in thin films and to zoom into electron...

Resonant X-ray Scattering and Multiple Beam Diffraction in LaMnO3

Fig 1: The solid points give the location and shape of the (1 0 –4) resonant reflection in orthorhombic LaMnO3. Open circles display Mn Kα fluorescence from the same sample on a common energy scale. The vertical scale is arbitrary and the lines are guides to the eye. In conventional X-ray diffraction the beam scatters from all electrons in the unit cell, but in resonant diffraction at a forbidd...

1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering of iron oxides.

1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy has been measured for a series of iron oxides, including octahedral and tetrahedral Fe(II) and Fe(III) systems. Their spectral shapes have been analyzed and explained using crystal-field multiplet simulations. The RIXS planes and the K-edge and L-edge X-ray absorption spectra related to these RIXS planes will be discussed with respect...
